Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER V-DAY—This is the day! Did you do it? Did you vote? If you overlooked it, it may not be too late. Do it! Vote! That's the American thing to do. The destiny of the nation may be swayed with the little rubber stamp in your hand in the voting booth. That cross—the X with which you mark your ballot is part of the voice of the people. In most elections the voice of the people is hardly an audible whisper, because voters fail to exercise their God-given franchise. Anaheimers, voting is a sacred privilege. Why don't you make the voice of the people really shout? It's up to you. If you shirk your responsibility to government, you have no grip coming. PREDICTION — The GAZETTEER predicts that less than half of the registered voters in Anaheim will cast a ballot in this off-season election. (Editor's note: we'll take that bet.) WHO'LL WIN — Anaheimers will see Earl Warren who took time out from a heated political campaign to participate in the Hallowe'en Festival re-elected to the governor's mansion in Sacramento. James Roosevelt has waged a vigorous campaign, but he's made too many promises; Californians still remember the promises Gilbert Olson made and in the race for Attorney General. It will either be Edmund (Pat) Brown or Edward S. Shattuck. Brown has the best chance of all Democratic candidates running to be elected. CAMPAIGN—A heated campaign for the United States Senate seat has been waged by Helen WHO'LL WIN—Anaheimers will see Earl Warren who took time out from a heated political campaign to participate in the Hallowe'en Festival re-elected to the governor's mansion in Sacramento. James Roosevelt has waged a vigorous campaign, but he's made too many promises: Californians still remember the promises Culbert Olson made and the Ham-and-Eggers... Goodwin J. Knight, the lieutenant governor, can expect nothing but a vote of confidence from today's election. He was re-elected in the primaries. Frank M. Jordan will be returned as secretary of state. George Walsh, the Independent Progressive, is not good enough to libset the incumbent. Anaheimer Thomas Kuchel has been doing an outstanding job as controller. There is no doubt that he will continue to do so for the next four years after the votes are counted. Virgil Hinshaw and Alia Washington will not unseat him. Their combined total vote won't be half that of the personable Anaheimer. Charles Johnson's victory over his opponent, Reuben Borough, for treasurer is virtually assured. CONTEST—A real contest looms OUR 35-YEAR EXPERIENCE IN WATCHMAKING IS YOUR GUARANTEE FEATURETTE—Jim Patton, North Anaheim's (Fullerton's) perennial write-in candidate, is a shrewd observer of the political scene. When a local would-be politician tried to play both ends against the middle, it was Jim who shouted: "Hey_____, where's your Roosevelt button?" ... The gentleman who was escorting in the race for Attorney General. It will either be Edmund (Pat) Brown or Edward S. Shattuck. Brown has the best chance of all Democratic candidates running to be elected. CAMPAIGN—A heated campaign for the United States Senate seat has been waged by Helen Gahagan Douglas, Democratic candidate, and Rlohard Nixon, the able Republican who was reared in Yorba Linda, schooled in Fullerton and Whittier. Unless the GAZETTEER misses his guess, Nixon will get it in a race that won't be settled until the votes come in from the hinterlands. John Phillips, the silverthatched Congressman, will still continue to be this neck of the wood's Representative in Congress. The vote he gets today is only a token one. He was elected in the primaries. So was Sam L. Collins, the Speaker of the State Assembly, who learned a lot about the parliamentary procedure when he was a member of the Congress of these here United States. After all, there are only two races in which the "voters and taxpayers have a vital interest—that for the governor's chair and the seat in the U.S. Senate. The other issues are cut and dried ... except that attorney general fight! BIG JOB—Running off an election is a big job. Anaheim has 24 precincts of its own.

(Gazette photo b Local Water, Oil Diviner Replies to Skeptics With Results of Mystic Art The way of a water diviner, one of those people who takes a piece twig or a length of wire, and with it professes to pinpoint the best use for a well, is a hard one. It is beset by critics, skeptics and people no decry this somewhat mystic practice for its unscientific approach. So says Anaheim's John Klemm, B.E. Broadway. Klemm claims he ability to locate water, as well as oil and various minerals, through the use of his own home-signed instruments, backed up by an inner power which only a new people have. He's been at its divining business for a quarter of a century, skeptics' cries the contrary, which indicates there must be something in the business. Locating water, or oil, or whatever, requires first off an inner power within the individual, Klemm explains. Not everyone has such a power. In fact, he says, very few people do. What this power is, Klemm can not say. Nor can others who profess the art. The only sure thing is that an individual must have it or he could tramp over ground water all day long with a loop in his hand and never get a jiggle. Next requisite is a proper instrument, Klemm says. Some diviners use a Y-shaped willow stick. Grasping it at the outflung ends, the operator holds it horizontally in front of him, walks over the area where water or oil or whatever is suspected. If the sought-after substance is present, down goes the twig with an almost irresistable force. Klemm himself prefers a device of his own making—a wire loop sort of affair with handles attached. Gentle spring pressure in one of the handles holds the loop upright. When he crosses the spot he's looking for, the wire loop is wrenched violently downward, to point directly at the hidden water or oil supply. A third essential rounds out the project, according to Klemm's description. Divining operates on the theory that likes attract likes. For water divining, for instance, a bottle of water in the hand, along with the locating instrument is necessary. The same for oil, except that here complications in the form of oil of various differing gravities arises. A sample of oil marked 45 gravity, for instance, won't produce a reaction when held with the locator over a sample of oil marked 30 gravity. This Klemm demonstartes in his shop. But get a pair of 45's and watch the wire move. As a result of the importance of the "like for like" principle, Klemm has in his field kit many samples of oil types found in the Southland. He says his kit is complete enough to enable him to work any area around for oil. If a sample of one particular weight fails to produce a reaction, another sample and goes through the process again. Many diviners, according to Klemm, work with only a locator. This he considers is doing only a halfway job. His experiments with the process have developed two additional instruments. One is a depth finder which he says will tell to the foot how deep water or oil or particular mineral happens to be. The other, is a geophysical oil indicator. This, Klemm explains, he uses in the search for oil to determine the amount which rests deep down in the earth. Both instruments he uses in conjunction with the all-important wire locator. The process of location is actually a very trying one physically according to the Anaheim man. The exercise of the peculiar inner power which produces the ultimate contact with the substance being sought results in considerable physical and psychical drain. A continued period of divining without letup leaves him exhausted. Klemm says his effort divining line over the resulted in discover wells. Around this in his work is confined to the discovery of He says he has sounded in the Cypress district went out and located range ranch when water arose. With oil, it's a distillate of capita as a piece of wire; exclusive inner feel understands this but maintains that he would be oil magnate oil is, how much does how deep it is.

Lewis, formerly associated with Bill Franz Barbershop, died Sunday night in Corona. He was 65. He moved from Anaheim to Corona several years ago. Mr. Lewis is survived by his wife Ella, of Corona. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Evans Funeral Home in Corona. Rev. John Woodson, former pastor of the Yorba Linda Methodist church will officiate. Burial will take place in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. BUCHU PILLS Buchu is one of the oldest drugs known to medical science. It is a very valuable agent in most all forms of kidney trouble. The kidneys act as blood filters for your system—sometimes they need a stimulant and then it is the time for you to get a package of McCoy's Diuretic Compound Pills. These pills contain Buchu, Stone root, Uva Ursil Potash, Nitrate and Alosa for stimulating diuretic effect. Sold at all McCoy Drug Stores, Santa Ana and Anaheim. Alpha Beta Stores Note 40th Year The Alpha Beta food markets—including two in Anaheim—are now celebrating their 40th anniversary. The big food organization started as a small market in Pomona in 1910. Today it has 22 large markets operating throughout the Southland and two new ones under construction in Arcadia. The Alpha Beta market at 408 E. Center, in Anaheim, is in its 25th year as a part of the organization. The other store in Anaheim, at 510 W. Center, was established in 1937. Ernie Harris is the manager of the E. Center Alpha Beta store. He has been with the chain since 1937. Meat manager is Kenneth Wire, who joined the organization in 1941. Stanley Weaver, who joined up with Alpha Beta in 1938, is vegetable manager. Lester Jones manages the W. Center store. He has been with Alpha Beta since 1939. Barney Rold is in charge of the meat department and has been with the organization since 1937. George McKool is vegetable manager. He is a five year Alpha Beta man. Alpha Beta is one of the major pioneers in self-service and supermarkets. Reader's Digest in 1942 said "The supermarket is no one man's doings. Self-service was going well in Los Angeles Alpha Beta stores in 1912." Bethel Baptist Film Points Out Jungle Customs Heathen customs hidden in South American Jungles and a monkey killed, cooked, and eaten are a few of the dramatic sequences included in the new 16mm sound-color film, "To Every Creature," to be shown in the Bethel Baptist church, Broadway at Lemon, Anaheim; Thursday, at 7:30 p.m., according to the Rev. R. Schlike, pastor. Two child wives, ages nine and 14, of a jungle Indian chieftan from the Chiapas, southernmost state of Mexico, pose with their Sunday dinner—a dried monkey. Filmed and recorded on a recent trip to South America by Dr. Irwin Moon, director of the Los Angeles branch of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, "To Every Creature" is a fresh approach to missionary activities. These Indian tribes, shown as they exist without help, hope, and God, have received a message from missionaries that has changed hearts and transformed lives; but the work could be multiplied by modern transportation and communication. "To Every Creature" demonstrates this by actual stories of missionaries who suffered great hardships and narrowly escaped death in canoes and on jungle trails. Other sequences show the real help modern communications and planes give to the pioneer mission workers. "To Every Creature" emphasizes training missionary technicians as pilots and for maintenance re- Klemm says his efforts along the divining line over the years have resulted in discovery of many wells. Around this immediate area his work is confined primarily to the discovery of water wells. He says he has sounded for many in the Cypress district. One he went out and located on his own range ranch when the need for water arose. With oil, it's a different story. The amount of capital necessary to put an oil drilling outfit into operation and to maintain it makes prospective drillers wary of anything "non-scientific" such as a piece of wire and an exclusive inner feeling. Klemm understands this but strongly maintains that he can show would-be oil magnates where the oil is, how much there is and how deep it is. He adds that geophysical crews, gearing their operations to scientific data, often drop a lot of dynamite down a lot of holes without being sure of what they ELECTRIC HEDGE TRIMMER and LAWN EDGER Two Tools in One The Sensation of the Recent Fair IT'S NEW! — IT'S DIFFERENT!
